Russia today is pretty far to the right.
The USSR died 30 years ago. Did you miss it?
Russia is still run by a leadership caste descended from the apparatchiks of the Soviet Union. Putin is example #1.
He and his system seems determined to restore the old empire.
The USSR died thirty years ago? Really?
Then why does the red star still adorn every Soviet aircraft?
Why is the red banner the battle flag of the Red Army?
Why did Putin call it the Red Army?
Why is the hammer and sickle displayed on NEW government buildings?
Why did Putin bring back the Soviet anthem?
Hmmm?
